put it this way. I want it, and I would not mind if it required a switch/setting/etc, that allowed to hash check AFTER date/time and file size.

for instance modified or created date might change, but filesize and hash might be the same.

You don't have to add it, but this is my request :p

Thanks again

I understand what your saying, I'm just saying if it will stop/not copy if the destination already has the file wanting to be copied, you could allow a setting/switch make it test both anyways just to see if its the same

one other thing that i really like from Tera copy. is if the file exists at the destination, instead of just skipping/error'ing , you could Hash check the already existing file (file size first for speed :p)

Cool thanks! KD7LRJ! your fast response earned you a try ;-)

SHA1 is the only way it hash checks right? (thats not critisism, thats a question :p)

Why did you pick that one? (im asking from lack of knowledge, its not a trap :p)

Hey, I registered just to post in this thread. I read it beggining to end.

I have been using TeraCopy for at least a year for the following reasons:

I really like seeing the queue.
auto CRC checks


I have 5Terabytes of storage spanning 10-12 hard drives (2 every size generation :p 200, 250, 300, 500, 750, 1tb give or take)
and at least 4 Tb of content.

Everytime I buy a new drive, I juggle all my files. So thats typically 30-500 gig transfers at a time between hard drives. Its VERY VERY re-assuring to have a Hash check.

I download alot of full series of cartoons and documentary shows.
So it is very amazing to be able to copy files, and to also see that a CRC check was done on the source and destination.

Thats my reasoning for picking it. I haven't found better yet.


Of the ones mentioned so far, can you guys tell me which ones for certain can do a CRC, or any sort of Hash check on source and destination files?

Thanks again

And thats for all sharing your opinions, this thread really is good and informative (between the typical fun banter)
